An Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) will come into force in Islington and Hackney in London in July 2018.

The ULEZ will prohibit any diesel or petrol vehicle from entering the zone from 07:00am – 10:00am and from 16:00 – 19:00, Monday to Friday.  The zone is to be extended more widely in London from 8 April, 2019.

The law will be enforced by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras; a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of up to £130 will be issued for violations.  The law also applies to foreign registered vehicles.  Residents and businesses located in the area may apply for an exemption.  Electric vehicles and vehicles emitting less than 75g/km CO2 are also exempt.
